Never Submit to My Mate Chap 79
Dante's POV The room was dimly lit and the only light came from a solitary light bulb placed strategically in the middle of the room. It had been turned on for my benefit only so that I could see what I was doing. The light shone directly on the prisoner and a little section of the room. It was designed to blind and discomfit him, while I was kept in the shadows. The Alpha rogue's vast body seemed to spread out all over the chair he sat in. Those flat snake eyes of his looked daggers at me. He showed no signs of breaking- yet. As an Alpha and the leader of a ruthless pack of villains who called themselves a pack, I was sure he had a lot of steel in him. But I would break him. I swore to myself by the goddess that I would. Eventually, I would turn that steel fiber in him into plastic and then to jelly. I had a lot of experience in that department and I was confident in my ability. We were in the Darkroom. It was more like a torture chamber which was rarely used and was kept locked

Allison's POVI was in the library, in the old section. The musty smells of the books surrounded me. I had come in here a while ago to see if I could somehow distract myself and get a break from all my disturbed thoughts. Books usually fascinated me, but they held no attraction for me today. My mind kept straying to Dante, wondering what he was doing, how he was coping, and how he was feeling now. I thought about all that had happened in the last few days. With a concentrated effort, I shifted in my chair and squinted at the book I was holding. The words seemed to waver and run together. I found myself reading a paragraph more than ten times which I couldn't even make sense of. Giving up on the futile exercise, I pushed the book away from me and glanced at the door of the library. Lucius stood there, his arms folded across his chest with his back almost turned to me. By his rigid posture, I knew he was attuned to every move I made. With the run-ins we had in the past and the times I

Allison's POVI watched his face tighten at my declaration and knew I was going to have a lot of talking to do in order to convince him to open up to me. It was going to be a long, hard battle but I was determined to win. I peered at him in the dim light. All the blinds in the room had been drawn and the only light came from the half-open bathroom door. My eyes took in Dante's appearance. I had never known him to look so worn out even when he was under an enormous amount of stress. The threats to his life from the traitors a while ago had not been able to do this to him. After all Lucius had told me, I now saw Dante in a whole new light. I could see how he presented such a tough exterior to the world, just like me. But inside, there was a man who wanted badly to be understood. He was staring at the door with a frown on his face as though wishing someone would come in and take me away. Without turning, I shut the door gently and turned the key in the lock. He further straightened

Dante's POVUnable to help myself, I captured Allison's lips with mine. I had never tasted anything so luscious, so inviting. I moaned deep down in the throat and I felt her shiver of pleasure. Kissing my mate was like coming home. I kissed her urgently, feverishly, channeling all my frustrations and pent-up desires into the kiss. She responded in kind. I ran my fingers through her hair, massaging her scalp as my eyes drifted closed of their own volition. I had wanted to utter more protests concerning all she had said to me but the first brush of her lips on mine effectively drove all considerations from my mind. For now, I couldn't tell if she was kissing me because she missed me, or if she just wanted me to get out of my head for a minute. Whatever her reasons were, it was working. Allison's lips parted and the first brush of her lips against mine fired my blood. I grabbed her waist and without breaking the kiss slowly pulled her down from the table so she could sit on my lap. I

Allison's POV The next morning, I was woken up by the twittering of a bird right outside the window. I blinked sleepily and rubbed my eyes so I could see clearly. Strong sunlight streamed in from the open window, an indication that it was probably mid-morning. I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was a few minutes past 10. Damn! I had slept in. I could not remember the last time I had woken up this late. Remembering all that had happened last night, I turned to the other side of the bed. Dante was not there. He was nowhere in the room. There was just the indentation of his body on the sheets and of his head on the pillow. He had probably gone to attend to some other things hours ago while I slept. I stretched out a hand and touched the spot where he lay, fancying I still felt the warmth of his body. I yawned, stretched, and sat up. At the movement, I winced. I was suddenly conscious of a slight pain in my abdomen and my lower limbs. But the majority of the pain was centered ar

Allison's POV Things were beginning to get better at the pack. It was admittedly unreasonable to expect everyone to get back to normal after losing an important member of the pack. I hadn't gotten back to normal yet. It spoke of how much happiness and light Madison had brought to Dante's house when I noticed how gloomy it tended to be these days. It had been two weeks since Madison passed and we all were trying desperately to adjust to her absence. Dante had taken my advice. He had taken a lot of his responsibilities off Maddox's shoulders. I could see that he was making an effort to be the leader everyone wanted. But I could also see that he was struggling. A sign that he had not totally healed was the disruption of our morning routine. Ever since I came to Dante's pack, I had almost always had breakfast in the dining room with Dante and Maddox. That has changed now. Once, a few days after Madison's burial, I had braced myself and gone into the dining room to find it empty.

Allison's POV I nodded at Dante's words. His words evoked a lot of memories. There was a time right before the attacks on Dante's pack began when Madison and I were having breakfast together. I had concentrated on my food and Madison had been chattering about the kinds of clothes she liked, her favorite colors, and a lot of things I was barely paying attention to. Then she had stopped abruptly and asked, "What flower do you like most? I absolutely love roses- red ones in particular." she had added after I didn't respond to her question. Her hands had unconsciously touched the sleeve of the flower-patterned blouse she was wearing. I had made an impatient gesture. "I do not like flowers at all," I had said. "Flowers are childish and I definitely wouldn't waste a thought on them." I chuckled sadly at the memory. Perhaps the memory of that day had been floating around in my subconscious. That was why I had gotten the exact flowers she liked. Dante heard me chuckle. I noticed the

Allison's POV I looked from Dante at Maddox and back again, hardly able to believe the evidence of my ears. My mind whirled as I fought to grasp the implications of what I had just heard. I wondered how the hell Darius could be in the same house with me without my knowledge. Had he been here for hours? days? Weeks? What room had he been staying in and why had I not run into him? Then I considered Maddox's manner. He was obviously being secretive about the whole issue and that made me very suspicious. To make it worse, he had said Darius's body had been contaminated with silver! Maddox would not have been waiting for Dante if Darius's condition was not critical. Dante had a worried frown on his face and seemed at a loss for words at the moment, so I turned to Maddox. I was about to speak when Dante broke in. "Are you quite sure of what you are say-" Maddox cut in. "I am. I would not have bothered you about it if I wasn't very sure." Maddox shifted his weight from one foot to

Allison's POV Dante's piercing eyes surveyed everyone in the room. It was as though those eyes were able to unravel every man's secrets. Though he spoke to everyone at the same time, at that moment, it felt like he was talking to each of the men in the conference room individually. The men assembled leaned forward, their bodies tense, looking as wound up as taut strings. They hung onto his every word. The boy in the room who sat beside Dante was transfixed. I could tell that he closely followed all that his father was saying. I smiled a little at the worshipful expression in those green eyes that were so like mine. After a silence of some seconds, Dante continued, "We have been through worse in the past and this poses as no challenge whatsoever. I consider this war we are about to go on... as a form of target practice. Some of you have gotten rusty over the years, so this should be an opportunity to take out your rusty daggers and relearn how to fight." There was a ripple of laug

Allison's POV I spent most of the morning in my room. I kept replaying the scene with Dante this morning over and over in my head. Each time, I gave his words a totally different interpretation and that made me sadder. I knew that I was torturing myself by doing this, but I could not seem to stop. I had ordered for breakfast in my room. Whenever Malkiel had felt hungry, I had fed and soothed him. A short while after breakfast, Aria had come to talk to me. Sensing that something was wrong, she had asked why I did not bother to come down for breakfast and why I was cooped up in my room. Then she had prattled on about a lot of other things which I did not bother to pay attention to. My replies had been so curt that she had eventually left, but not without informing me- without me asking- that Dante had left the pack to attend to some things. It came as a surprise to me when less than an hour later, a knock sounded on the door. I immediately perceived Dante's scent outside the door.

Allison's POV For the next few hours, Malkiel's temperature kept fluctuating. Sometimes he was as hot as a live coal. Sometimes his temperature returned to normal. At other times, he felt cool to the touch, so cool that I felt goosebumps form on my skin when I touched him. It was still scary to see my baby going through these kinds of changes within the space of a few minutes. Even though I knew what had caused Malkiel's illness, it still did not make it easy to deal with. I did not know what to think- how to feel about all of this. It was too much to take in all at once. After Dante had told me about what the red mark was, I had sat watching my son for hours, thinking about all he had said. As I stared out of the window, my fingers trailed along Malkiel's chest. It was easier for me to believe what Dante had said because apart from the high temperature and the fact that he was sleeping too much, Malkiel did not show any other signs of illness. A part of me- the part which alway

Dante's POV I glared at the woman who was on her knees before me. She was crying and mumbling incoherently and had been doing that for the last few minutes. Stiffly, I walked back to my desk and sat down behind it. At least the desk provided a sort of barricade that might prevent me from hurting her. I closed my eyes, shutting out the image of her face. Slowly, I massaged my temples as I felt the headache I associated with one of my fits of rage coming on. My wolf was getting restless, wanting to come out. If it did, it would be bad for the woman- very bad indeed. Calm, be calm, I muttered to myself over and again. When I felt I was somewhat in control of myself, I raised my head and pinned her with my stare. "So, what are you trying to say, Tessa?" I said. "Apart from the Luna and I, you are the only one who spends so much time with my son as you are his nanny. Explain to me how the hell this happened under your watch." "It didn't-" I motioned her to be silent. "The Luna

Allison's POV My eyes lighted on the most adorable baby sleepsuit I had ever seen. I caught my breath in delight. A woman was in front of the rack where the sleep suits were displayed. She was looking at the one that had caught my eye consideringly as though she was thinking of buying it. Abandoning the shopping cart for Aria, I dashed forward and took it off the hanger, startling the woman a bit. I walked back to Aria who was trying to see what I was holding. "What have you got there, Luna?" she asked. "Only the most adorable little sleep suit for Malkiel." I held it up for her inspection. She shook her head emphatically. "Nope, definitely not. This isn't... Malkiel's style at all." I grinned. "How do you or anyone know what Malkiel's style is? He's just a baby." "And he won't like that, trust me. There are some clothes I dress him up in and he then tries to take them off by all means. That way, I know that he doesn't like them." "You don't like it, you mean. What is wrong

Dante's POV With a flourish, Maddox handed me a document that had every inch filled with letters and figures. "Here, take a look at this," he said smugly. I settled down to read what he had given me. Without taking my eyes off the document, my hand wandered across the desk. Anticipating my wants, Maddox pushed the calculator towards me. I snatched it up and for the next few minutes, the only sound in the room was the faint beep of the calculator keys as I put together the figures before me. When I was done, I leaned back and whistled in surprise. "How accurate is this?" I inquired. Maddox flashed a smile. "I knew you would ask that. It is very accurate. I went through it thoroughly. I knew that you would want to see the documents sooner or later, so I prepared in advance. Surprising, isn't it?" "Not entirely," I replied after a few seconds' hesitation. "I was sort of expecting something like this. But the figures- the figures are quite astronomical. Wow." Maddox had given me

Allison's POV A pleasurable thrill went through me. Dante had that look in his eyes that told me he wanted us alone, together. My insides warmed at the intensity of his gaze. I nodded. He grinned and pressed me even closer to his body. "That's my girl. You said what I have been wanting to hear all evening," he murmured. He stepped away, looked around, and slid an arm around my waist. He walked quickly and I was almost forced to run to keep up with his stride. He weaved his way expertly among the guests we ran into. He seemed to have an instinctive knowledge of who wanted to engage us in some sort of conversation. We got inside and I was about to push the door of his room open when he kneaded my bottom. "Dante!" I exclaimed, laughing. "Let's get inside first. There are too many people tonight." As soon as we got in, he planted a burning kiss on my lips. I moaned softly, responding eagerly to the feel of his lips against mine. I had thought that with the birth of our child, the p

Allison's POV Aria stood at the entrance of my room. She walked further into the room, her flowing, black velvet dress rippling as she moved. She stopped beside my bed and regarded me closely. "Well, I don't believe it!" she exclaimed. "Luna, I can't believe that you are not dressed yet." I yawned and stretched. "I will get dressed... eventually." Aria gaped and shook her head. "The time is 6 pm. 6 pm!" she repeated when I said nothing. "The ball is due to start anytime from now. Your hair and makeup aren't even done yet. Luna, you should have been ready hours ago." I grimaced at the word make-up. "Who needs make-up anyway?" I grumbled. "It even wastes time. I have an idea, Aria. How about I go downstairs with no make-up on? I will just er- try to fix my hair up a little." Tria looked scandalized at the very idea. "Definitely not, Luna. What would people say? You are one of the reasons why this ball is holding. You have to be perfect for tonight. A lot of people from other

Allison's POV The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Dante, sitting on the bed beside me. I gaped at him. My first thought was that I had died and gone to whatever paradise the Moon goddess provided for my kind. While I had been semi-conscious after giving birth, I had thought I heard his voice in my room. But I had dismissed the evidence of my ears, tagging it to be a product of my overactive imagination. Now here he was, right before me. When I blinked, his form did not waver or turn to smoke like it had in my dream. I did not want to get my hopes up, but I gradually started to believe that it was Dante I saw. He saw me looking and gave me his familiar lopsided grin. "Dante," I croaked. "Is- it really you?" He looked at me with such love and longing that I felt my insides melt. I put out a hand and touched his warm flesh. "Yes, it is me, my love. I am here with you." I took a deep, shuddering breath. The sound of his voice drove home the fact that I was not dream
